About this Dog
Meet Dutch: Your Next Best Friend!Say hello to Dutch, the sweetest senior pup you'll ever meet! Imagine a piece of rich Dutch chocolateâthat's Dutch, but even sweeter! At 8 years young, Dutch is a calm and loving soul who truly enjoys the simple pleasures in life. He had a fabulous day out being pampered and displayed impeccable behavior throughout! Dutch is the perfect companion, happily hanging out with his canine friends or soaking up the sun's rays while enjoying cuddles from his human pals. Sadly, Dutch finds himself in the shelter for the second time. He was previously adopted but ended up back here as a stray, and through no fault of his own. Heâs now patiently waiting for his forever home, where he can finally settle down and be the companion he was meant to be.Donât just take our word for itâcheck out what his recent foster had to say about this incredible boy: Dutch is a big, lovable goof who pulls strongly on leash and needs a confident handler for walks. Heâs curious about everythingâsmells, squirrels, leavesâand loves exploring. Despite his size, he doesnât mind being picked up and was a champ during grooming, even lying down for the dryer. He adores enrichment puzzles, cuddles, and giving endless kissesâwatch out for accidental headbutts from his giant, excited noggin! On trail walks, he was well-behaved and adds flair with a silly stomp-and-sweep dance when marking. He ignored the cats and was great with kids, soaking up all the attention. Dutch knows how to sit and takes treats gently.Heâs just a giant love bug looking for a lap to snuggle in and a family to adore.If you're ready to welcome a `good boy` into your life, come meet Dutch today! Let's find him the loving home he deserves and let him win over your hearts! Additional Information: Dutch, ID: A069807, 8 years old, neutered male, Shepherd mix, 60 lbs, dog and cat friendly
Contribute to DUTCH's Stash!

100% of DUTCH's balance will be sent to whoever adopts DUTCH.
Adopt DUTCH and Receive DUTCH's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, DUTCH's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is DUTCH's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the DUTCH, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming DUTCH's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and DUTCH was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, DUTCH’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the DUTCH’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, DUTCH’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
